Absolutely delicious — truly authentic Italian pizza, not your typical American-style pie. Every bite tasted fresh and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and if you go, definitely grab a seat at the bar — Tori is adorable and an incredible mixologist! She made the experience even better. Can’t wait to come back!

Went here a few months ago with friends and had a good time. Pretty good pizza with standard Seattle prices. But this past week I decided to go by myself as I was craving pizza and wanted to treat myself but instead got nonexistent service. I get there and it’s not particularly busy, plenty of open tables and various staff are chatting with each other near the bar area. I stand inside past the entrance for a few minutes before I make eye contact with a server who says I can seat myself anywhere that’s open. I ask if outside is ok and they say yes and that somebody will be over shortly. I sit there for about 10 minutes with no water, tableware, or most importantly no menu. I start to see other parties arrive and get seated and given waters and menus but decide to give it a little longer. Finally after multiple servers pass me and help tables near me, I just get up and leave. Doesn’t feel great to be completely ignored, and I feel like ~15 minutes is way too long to wait for a menu

Unfortunately, this is a hard pass. We were excited for a new pizza spot in Ballard, but the pizza was basically inedible- soggy, bland, and the dough was extremely overworked. The wine was served in the wrong glass and at the wrong temperature. And the salad - the $13 salad - was a few canned chickpeas on a small bed of arugula with barely any seasoning or cheese.

Maybe it was a bad night, but we won’t be back. The waitress was nice.

TLDR: where has this pizzeria been all my life!

Update: we came in a second time and ordered the Nicoletta, Marinara and Boscaiola this time, along with the panna cotta and chocolate budino for dessert - highly recommend the panna cotta, marinara and nicoletta. The chili oil is also fantastic.

We casually came in for lunch on a Friday, and oh boy, is this place amazing. First off, 50% of the pizzas being vegetarian is just amazing - and these aren’t your standard cheese pizza garbage, these are LEGITIMATE options.

We tried the Angela pizza and the gnocchi between the two of us. The pizza is everything a pizza should be (I staunchly stand behind Neapolitan being the king of pizza types) - the base/dough is perfect, the flavors are all there, the toppings are generous too. Honestly, this is one of the best pizzerias in town.

The gnocchi was pretty nice too, but I’ll definitely recommend choosing the pizza over the pastas here.

Incredible food, incredible location, and incredible staff. Service was prompt and friendly. The server was super kind and brought my pups a bowl of water while we ate. Definitely my go to spot for wood fired pizza in Ballard.

We ordered the Boscaiola pizza and found it a bit underwhelming. The flavor was quite bland, and the crust was extremely thin, which made the slices hard to hold and caused the toppings to slide off easily. That said, the service was excellent and the ambiance was lovely, both of which made the dining experience pleasant overall. With some improvements to the pizza, this place could be a real standout.
